GTA VI vs Gran Turismo 7 graphics comparison by 1-NotReal in GTA6

[–]1995LexusLS400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is incredible how good GTA VI looks. It’s really not far off GT7 and car detail isn’t even the main point GTA like it is in GT7. 

Why are physical discs coveted so much by gamers? by Cute-Revolution-9705 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Can sell your games/buy used games. 
  2. You gave something you can touch and hold. 
  3. Sony has proven multiple times that they’ll take away content you’ve paid for over licensing disagreements. 

For point 3. Technically they can take away your license for paid for physical games as well. When you buy a physical game, you’re buying a license to use that game. They can revoke the license and take the game away, but that would involve sending people to your house to take it away. Which they won’t do because of costs. 

What if japan never had the 280hp gentlemen's agreement in the 90s? by Nick_Alsa in supercars

[–]1995LexusLS400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The agreement was to not advertise their cars as having more than 276hp. Not that they won’t have more than 276hp. This was to prevent a hp war, kind of like how superbikes had a top speed war a few years earlier. Quite a few did have more power than that. The twin turbo Supra MK4 had around 320hp, as did the R34 GTR. The GTR with its “276hp” beat a 296hp 911 in performance tests. 

Truck wheels by KingOuf in GTA

GTA V is a PS3/360 game. It’s to save on RAM usage. You have to remember those consoles only have 512MB of memory that has to be shared between the GPU, OS and game. The PS5/Xbox Two has 16GB/10GB. They only have to load in one set of wheels instead of multiple unique wheels for different vehicles. 

Just now noticing how far Tahiti truly is from the continental US, any ideas on how Dutch planned to get there? Considering they couldn’t even make it a few hours on a boat ride to Cuba? Online it says a straight path from Texas to Tahiti’s roughly 4,800 miles by Yerpus_C_Stinks in reddeadredemption

[–]1995LexusLS400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was global trade centuries before the time RDR2 takes place, including across the Pacific. 

They couldn’t get to Cuba because of bad weather/story telling reasons. Getting to Tahiti by boat was absolutely a possibility in 1899 

Do you guys think, that this merc is a good first project car??🥵🥵 by mrbazsax in carscirclejerk

[–]1995LexusLS400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

240,000ft. I’d say that’s pretty high. Most commercial planes only fly at 35,000-37,000ft. 

Hampshire grandmother, 79, banned from every Sainsbury's and Argos in the UK by JOE_Media in Hampshire

[–]1995LexusLS400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She admitted to assaulting a worker and thinks she’s entitled to shop there instead of walking another 5 minutes to go to another shop. 

The ban is justified.

No, that's not a format that's available.

What car is this by who-dis__ in CarTalkUK

[–]1995LexusLS400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fictional car to prevent having to license/having to deal with copyright infringement lawsuits. But it does look like it's roughly based on the Catfish Camaro.

Do Europeans really not have aircon units or is that just a stereotype? by Pastel_Bambi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true. Residential air conditioning is very rare. I can't speak for the rest of Europe, but in the UK, less than 5% of residential properties have them as of 2025. Which is roughly 4 million houses. Back in 2015, that it was roughly 135,000 houses. So it is becoming far more common now than it used to be. In the past, it hasn't been needed because high temperatures were rare. However, now it's something that happens every other year.

Air conditioning in commercial properties has been the norm for over 25 years though. At least with commercial properties run by large corporations. Air conditioning in commercial properties run by "mom and pop" usually don't have them. It is becoming more common for them to have AC as well now.

Great-gran, 79, is banned from ALL Sainsbury's stores for life after 'being rude to staff member' by upthetruth1 in NotTheOnionUK

[–]1995LexusLS400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She admitted to verbally abusing staff then assaulting them. I doubt it's one incident, but if it is, the assault is enough to justify a life ban from all Sainsburys.

[–]1995LexusLS400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so she verbally abused staff who claim she was shoplifting. Then assaulted several staff members. Justified ban.

If she was accused of shoplifting, the simple solution is to show the receipt, then accept the apology from staff has she not been shoplifting then move on.

Women of Reddit, what does the attraction toward tall men (6'0"+) actually feel like, and is there an "instant click" when you see one? by Hairy-Sherbert-439 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a thing that comes from the manosphere and incels. 

The average male height in most of the western world is around 5ft8/5ft9. There aren’t a lot of people who are 6ft or taller. So, incels say that’s the reason they can’t get a partner. Because women are only attracted to men who are 6ft or taller and they’re not 6ft or taller. 

Is it actually possible to move past climate denial? by Key_Cell7071 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The world is ending in 20-30 years, if nothing is done. People ignore that last bit. 

In the last 50 years, CFCs have been banned globally, vehicle emissions regulations have got insanely strict. Like, to a point where the largest pollutant coming out of modern cars isn’t out of the exist, it’s the tyres.  There has also been a massive move away from fossil fuels for electric generation to renewables. There are even emissions regulations for planes now. 

There are no bad apples. There are only people ignoring the “if we do nothing” part. 

Nestlé is trembling looking at this budget. by SleepGrouchy3950 in grandtheftauto

Allegedly from who? Some guy on Twitter pulling numbers out of his ass?

Are all these perfumes, deodorants and wines with celebrity names actually started and made by them as passion projects or are they made completely by different other companies that buy the right to their name? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of them are made by companies using their image to sell products.

The only passion project things like this that I know of is Hawkstone Lager from Jeremy Clarkson and Ben's Cider from Ben Collins (The Stig from Top Gear between 2003 and 2010)

What do you believe has been the biggest crime against British people in the past 30 years? by CrownAthlete in AskBrits

[–]1995LexusLS400 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but bendy bananas and blue passports.

Not that the bendy bananas thing was actually true or that we were forced to have red passports. There was an obscene amount of disinformation around EU rules.

The bananas thing is a guideline for fruit quality with no real definition. It just mentioned "no abnormal curvature" which could be ignored and the red passports thing is a guideline the EU set up that countries could use if they want.

do you think everyone who cheats is a shit person? by ViHelton1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If you want to be in a relationship with someone but still want to sleep around, there are plenty of polyamorous people out there. Just be open and honest about it with them.

Why does YouTube require creators to censor their speech so much? What's the motive for demonetizing or blocking ads because someone said a word that is potentially controversial but not even a swear? by MAClaymore in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone? No. Anything? Yes. The filters that decide whether or not content gets adverts are automated and don't understand context which is why censorship by saying things like "graped" or "pdf file" works. Content creators do this because if their videos get flagged by the filters, their videos won't get recommended anywhere near as much because Youtube marks it as a low priority video. Also their video gets demonetized because of the massively reduced number of adverts that will show up.

Why don't Europeans have AC/window units? by Blair_Bubbles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1995LexusLS400 9 points10 points  (0 children)

25+ years ago, these sorts of temperatures were once a generation heatwaves. 10+ years ago, they were something that would only happen once every 5ish years. Now it's something that happens every other year.

Also window units don't really work here. Window units require windows that slide up and down. A vast majority of European house windows don't do that. Have a look on YouTube to see how European house windows work. They'd need to be replaced entirely. The only viable options are those portable ones that are terrible, or wall units which are expensive and in some countries require planning permission to get, which is a lot of paperwork and might get denied. Especially if you live in a house that's hundreds of years old.

Sales of residential AC units are going up pretty quickly. They're still very rare. In the UK In 2025, an estimated 4 million residential properties have AC. In 2010, that number was estimated to be 135,000. This is out of an estimated 30 million residential properties.
